Good morning! It's a beautiful morning. It's clear and bright, will be a lovely cool winter day. Mid 40s is on the low side of "normal"; but better than what's coming. We apparently have one more winter storm coming tomorrow, and then we can start really looking to spring. Well, I hope so anyway! :)
Yesterday: It was a pretty ordinary work day, nothng too dramatic. I managed to run an errand at lunch time. When I got home my new desk was here ... so finally, I can start putting the room back together! That will take much longer, as not everything is coming back into the room! LOL!!
Today: It's another work day. I'll have to go to Wal-Mart after work for some cards (picking them out would take too long for lunch time! LOL!). This evening it will be more of sifting things back into place, or getting rid of them. For me, the getting rid part is hard; but there's only so much room; and the "extra stuff" can't keep living in the rest of the house! LOL!
